- Tsuribito (Fisherman) -

The charming print "Tsuribito" (Fisherman) is by Takeji Asano. This unique black-and-white composition features a simplified image of a man fishing, rendered in bold, clearly defined lines. Despite its strong and striking design, the image conveys an unexpectedly heartwarming and comical charm.

The Japanese title and the artist’s signature (in both Japanese and English), along with the number, appear on the bottom margin. The date “‘75” and the block signature “T.a.” are found in the lower right corner of the image.
